Pirtin
Perinnepuisto Tradition Park

This
beautiful park is located next to the Rantatori market
square by lake Puulavesi. The park exhibits close to two
hundred traditional Finnish garden and park plants, all
labelled. All the plants are donations from different
parts of Kangasniemi and they all represent strains
cultivated locally for centuries. The plants include
medicinal and decorative ones as well as herbs. Its
extensive array of traditional garden plants makes
Pirtinpuisto park important also nationally.

The
park is also adorned by a small bandstand, sculptures by
Juhani Saksa, a fountain and a monument to men going to
war.
The
park was established by a local gardening society in
co-operation with local authorities.
